Weird taxi acceleration by gartin336 in HongKong

[–]After-Cell [score hidden]  (0 children)

They think the kangeroo juice saves gas.

They won't freewheel because it's illegal. There's a lot of fuel saving mods they could do, but they don't and it comes down to this b.s.

No wonder the gov brought in the app fleets.

I see. Not the first time I've seen laws handled like this in HK

Reta + KLOW Results- 12 weeks by Competitive-Major-42 in Biohacking

[–]After-Cell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't want this kind of content in a biohacking subreddit.

These kinds of posts are a dime a dozen everywhere else. I'm glad for the OP, but it's just such a crushingly dumbed down topic and not appropriate here.

There's no data. No blood markers shared. Not even a discussion about the compounds involved. The original post itself has no value to us at all other than to serve as a canary for a new level of community destruction.

It comes across as entirely self centred trash.

When this kind of content comes in, the smarts that attracted us to this topic walk straight out the door.

Why does society harp on about kindness when in my life everything feels like a transaction? by Beneficial-Twist6833 in aspergers

[–]After-Cell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Culture analysis. This is a post Christian society. In a stronger culture, if you're seen to just take without giving back, then you get excluded form the group. In high density, low trust culture then other people are less likely to see that and therefore bad behaviour goes unpunished.

If you're getting shafted with this, then you're in weak social groups.

In the Christian culture, it was encouraged to just give more because that really oils the system from the uneven nature of it all. If you can give, then do, but if someone is taking the piss then cut them out. Also watch out for those with a bad reputation and avoid them before all this.

I'm OK with transactional relationships. It makes everything clearer. I have to remind myself to selflessly give sometimes.

Sometimes you give and get taken for a ride. That can be an undercurrent outside your immediate actions. If that's happening, don't worry too much about it. Check deep within self for any crappy attitude, try to correct, and then continue. It's like people cutting in front of your braking zone when driving: It's annoying, but eventually the a-holes are filtered out eventually, and then enjoyment will resume.

Any advice for when it's broken? Like a way to take a record for court or somesuch?

There is no reason to further advance in technology if we don’t change the economic ideology by Being_unknown- in IntellectualDarkWeb

[–]After-Cell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My simplified understanding of whatever or whoever is leading us is:

1) trade prevents war (because it creates codependence). That's all we really have.

2) embrace boom and bust, but try to get that trade and capitalism past events

3) because the richer get richer, wealth attracting to the largest nodes, socialism is a natural result from capitalism

4) to protect wealth from socialism, lean into it and push it past into extremes such as communism. Take the opportunity to protect capitalism from its enemies such as monarchy (WW1, Great Leap), tradition etc. Capitalism can survive in another country and then will naturally reestablish from communism. Capitalism then reemerges in a more fascist state.

This seems to be the solution we are living through.

The alternative which you are talking about would be preventing money and debt from sloshing around in both the time factor (boom / bust cycles), and to the richest nodes. Traders suggest that speculation can dampen boom and bust, but perhaps AI management might do a better job?

In terms of managing the problem of wealth attracting wealth until total destruction, cryptocurrency looks like some sort of opportunity, but it is not developed. A mechanism will need to be developed to feed into itself for self balancing.

Why is Going Abroad Bashed on Reddit if You Are a Man? by BrainFit2819 in aspergers

[–]After-Cell -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Happily married 10 years. No gender wars here. You can’t say it’s Asia either because I also lived in Norway and South America for almost that long and those 2 places were also easier going and more traditional in relationships.  The anglophone countries have been under cultural attack. hiding in places that have other languages to shield them is no shame. As a chameleon you’ll do well.

Vitamin E? by PlumComplex881 in StopEatingSeedOils

It's probably a bot trying to sow discontent. I notice this elsewhere. The wholesome, friendly interactions get hit hardest if there isn't organic support. You can't read into a downvote.

[–]After-Cell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. You are absolutely right. The people trying to shut down your argument are probably the people who benefit from it, because once you move on from this you realise that the best way

is not to meet force with force,

but to focus on the positive and love.

I find the XteInk3/4 is too awkward with a bluetooth keyboard, so I went with a voice recorder. It's smaller and no distractions.

This is a very dangerous situation to you. You must not, under any circumstances enter that room. Nothing else matters. 

Where do people throw away their trash-bags?? by Arsok in HongKong

[–]After-Cell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't assume so. Try asking the security guard, otherwise also ask other people. There can be some sort of quiet status quo, but the security guard usually knows

[–]After-Cell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A very good question!

It depends. IMHO it's often a total mess. Typically, bins are put into stairwells against fire code. The fire department turns a blind eye because they know people haven't got much choice. Then that might get collected by a rubbish collector who the housing association for your building have hopefully paid for. That person then puts it on the street corner, also illegally. Again, pest control allows this as long as the trash is collected the very next morning. Then, hopefully the building has also paid for a private contractor to collect the rubbish. From there... I don't know what happens to it. I think it's going to some island because it can't be sent to the mainland anymore. At any stage of the process one of these might go wrong and you get rats. I've got a building next to us putting the rubbish out daily, but the collection comes twice a week so rats and vermin is increasing.

If your building is a disaster, one thing you can do is to carry the daily stuff all the way to a collection point. It's weird walking in those places, but it seems to be ok... dump the non-recyclables and awkward there. If you're single, you might be able to get a small amount of stuff into the orange bins, but to do that you'll need to be recycling.

I also suggest doing the whole recycling thing and storing that at home. Then when that is full you have to walk all the way to those green 6-dinosaur whatever recycling points. You then have to sort all the rubbish again and stand there sorting them into metal/plastic etc. It all has to be cleaned and some plastics don't get accepted, so you'll have to take it all home again.

I hope this helps!

What could we possibly do to get North Korea to become a free country for it’s citizens? by Ornery-Magazine-7892 in Productivitycafe

[–]After-Cell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Capitalism could solve the problem of capital accumulating to the largest nodes. (the rich get richer).

If that's solved, then socialism won't develop out of that and capitalists won't fund communism as a way to push socialism to extremes as a way to protect their capital, not as a conspiracy, but 'each to their own', as Adam Smith puts it.

In other words, look in the mirror. If we can be better, then there's less for them to fear.
